[Gwen doesn't know if it's better or worse that Peter's not even fighting. He's not arguing, just admitting she's right. Just looking guilty and sad, as he should, and honestly it just makes her gut twist up more.
She's thought about what she would say to him for days now, and now that she's seeing this look on his face, words escape her. She's still upset, of course, but her expression softens.]
I know.. I haven't been the best about letting people in. But I let you in. I don't want to regret that.
[She doesn't want her Peter to come between them. It's already weird enough, that she's already in a spider-verse full of alternate realities where her dead best friend lived. It's already hard enough, getting to see him live, and grow old, and have what he never would get in her dimension in what seemed like every other reality.
She knows this Peter isn't him. He doesn't look the same, doesn't act the same. He had such a big heart, for everyone around him, no matter who it was. He really embodied what Spider-Man should be, and she was so happy to find him here, in this strange dimension.
She loved him, no question about it, even if admitting that scared her to death.]
